Publisher's summary

The Yoga Sutra is the living source wisdom of the yoga tradition. Using it as a guide, we can unlock the hidden power of yoga, and experience the promise of yoga in our life. The Yoga Sutra is as fresh today as it was 2200 years ago when it was discovered by the sage Patanjali. It is the first practitioner-oriented commentary which is fully grounded in a living tradition. By applying its living wisdom in our practice, we can achieve the purpose of life: lasting fulfillment and ultimate freedom.

Thank you for creating this in Audible

Being able to listen to the Sanskrit and the commentary helped me understand in a way that was much more impactful than reading the book alone. I'm looking forward to the next Chapter!

Incredible, inspirational

Pandit is revealing the light in words that can be understood; therefore providing a path for all.
For me a combination fulfillment of eastern and western revelation.
The eyes of my understanding being broadened.
The tying together of truth.
Pandit has an unusual gift of explaining what can’t be seen by the senses
Thank you

Loving this and excellent interpretation

D.C Rao- love his voice, could listen all day. Infact -have peacefully fallen asleep listening to this book many times. I have begun to chant the sutras and feel better about my pronounciation as DC clearly and slowly pronounces each sankrit sutra before starting commmentary. Dr. Pandit offers thorough and easy to understand interpretion of all chapters. He also gives the relatable sutras during the explanations thus making it easier to connect the dots as well offering basic pranyama techniques and the "why's" of each of the practices. Seriously have listened to this so many times I think it's starting to sink in without note taking. The sanskrit words are becoming part of my vocabularly. If you are a Yoga teacher, get this book. I have a few other sutra books in paper and stil go to this version regulary

A Wonderful Tutorial

I was reading The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali when I found this book. Dr. Tiguanait's explanations are incredibly helpful. If you are studying The Yoga Sutras, this book is a must.
